Weah goal sends United States to knockout stage of Under-20 World Cup

Timothy Weah earned the United States a place in the Under-20 World Cup knockout stages with the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Qatar.

The 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward’s goal in the 76th minute ensured the U.S. a second-place finish in the group, and automatic qualification to the last 16, though a potential matchup with France awaits.

After losing their opening game to Ukraine 2-1 and then rebounding with a 2-0 victory over Nigeria, the U.S. entered the contest knowing a victory would seal their place in the knockout stage while a draw would likely see them through.
